Really special menus and appetizing meal, let alone eat it on a small island surrounded by the beautiful sea. The journey from the island Geleang then proceed to Tanjung Gelam, a promontory located in the west coast of the island of Karimun. Here the beautiful natural scenery also we have encountered, in the form of crystal clear beaches, white sand and rows of palm trees that grow fast. We also enjoy some food and drinks that are sold in this place, such as fried bananas and coconut ice. Fresh and delicious! Tanjung Gelam  Tanjung Gelam

 Day 3: Middle Island, Small Island, Gosong Pasir Putih, Pulau Menjangan Entering the 3rd day, the journey begins with the first objective to Middle Island which is next eastern island of Karimun.

Routes to Menjangan Island is opposite the direction of our travel time from the morning to the island of Karimun Port Central, or arguably his way home from the Middle Island. On the way to the Great Menjangan Island, we stopped at a sandbar (atoll) named Gosong Pasir Putih. Hirst will only appear when the sea water was receding. We were really amazed to see a land of white sand is pushed emerged from the midst of the sea. Yet the timing set out in the morning, we do not see this land of white sand. Hirst Pasir Putih (doc. Private) scorched the White Sand (doc. Private) From the charred white sand, we went on a trip to Menjangan Besar. Here we see a shark breeding pond and allowed to get into the pool. Really thrilling when standing in a pool with waist-deep water, while some sharks swimming around us. Together sharks

 Day 4: Journey Land On the fourth day, we did not travel by boat around from island to island, but simply by traveling overland to visit places on the mainland island of Karimun. The places we visited them are Kampung Bugis, Legon Plow, barracuda beach, mangrove forest. On the island of Karimun there is also a model home (uninhabited) the stilts Bugis and Holy typical home. The second house is a representation of the tribes that inhabit this island, which is Javanese, Bugis and Madura. At noon, we went on a trip to the mangroves.

The next day (the sixth day), we went back to Jepara to ride back KMP Muria. That's a story I can share when visiting Publications. The beauty of the sea, beaches and underwater scenery is an incredible charm. Some improvements need to be done by the local government to support tourism in this place. For example the number of crossings and ferries that need to be added (currently crossing into karimunjawa only two times a week).
